  • We flag Nickel leaching from alloy band, Bacterial growth in seals and crevices and Battery leakage if seal degrades on the and not on the Even Realities.
  • The Even Realities is titanium, stainless steel, sapphire crystal where the is Mixed alloy band, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
